6. 4. Remote sensing of ice clouds : synergistic measurements and radiative transfer simulations

   Author : Gerrit Holl; Gerald Mace; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rymdteknik; Space Technology;

   Abstract : This thesis primarily considers the spaceborne remote sensing of ice clouds and frozen precipitation. Ice clouds are important for hydrology and for the Earth’s radiation budget, but many properties are difficult to measure, in particular using spaceborne instruments. READ MORE

   Author : Gerrit Holl; Claudia Emde; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rymdteknik; Space Technology;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis considers the combination of multiple instruments for remote sensing of the Earth atmosphere from space. The primary focus is on remote sensing of atmospheric ice. Ice clouds are important for the Earth’s radiation budget, but their properties are difficult to measure and therefore poorly known.
